It looks like Stereophile pissed off Schiit, real bad. And the Schiit hit the fan. Stereophile posted this on Facebook: "Schiit Audio goes their own way, using obsolete 20-bit DAC chips - obsolete in the context of 24-bit audio data - in this converter. Yet Herb Reichert was very impressed by the sound." Jason Stoddard responds: "Jason Stoddard: Obsolete? Not at all. The 20-bit DACs used in Yggdrasil (specifically, four AD5791BRUZ) are 100% current, much more tightly spec'd than any audio DAC in terms of DNL and INL, and are used in the most mission-critical applications that include medical imaging and defense. This is a disappointing misrepresentation of the product." And on his own Head-Fi forum: "Yes, this gets my blood boiling, Just commented on Facebook and sent a letter to the ad rep and editor.
